When I Grow Up To BE a Man by the Beach Boys
When I grow up to be a man
Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?
Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did?
Will I joke around and still dig those sounds
When I grow up to be a man?
Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl?
(fourteen fifteen)
Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world?
(sixteen seventeen)
Now I'm young and free, but how will it be
When I grow up to be a man?
Oooooo Ooooooo Oooooooo
Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square?
(eighteen nineteen)
When they're out having fun yeah, will I still wanna have my share?
(twenty twenty-one)
Will I love my wife for the rest of my life
When I grow up to be a man?
What will I be when I grow up to be a man?
(twenty-two twenty-three)
Won't last forever
(twenty-four twenty-five)
It's kind of sad
(twenty-six twenty-seven)
Won't last forever
(twenty-eight twenty-nine)
It's kind of sad
(thirty thirty-one)
Won't last forever
(thirty-two . . .)

I know there is more to this but I can't remember it all.
Dad sang it to me and I sang it to my daughter.
I have no idea who wrote it.
Where are you going my little one, little one,
Where are you going my babe, my own,
Little dirndles and petticoats, where have you gone,
Turn around and your 2, turn around and your 4, turn
around and your a young girl going out of my door.
(I remembered some more...)
Where are you going my little one, little one,
Where are you going my babe, my own,
Turn around and you're tiny, turn around and you're grown,
turn around and you're a young wife with babe's of you're own.
And somebody much younger will have to help me with this one.
I'm 18 and I like it, love it. (Mick Jagger????)

it may have had a life as a song... but i remember it from a Kodak commercial.. early 1960'? or so..
another 'song' that started it life as a commercial is Four Green Fields written for Aer Lingus airlines. it was an imediate hit, and people swear they learned it as a child, and it an old, old song. nonsense. Tommy Makem wrote it in the 1970'S!(and has the copywrite and royalties to prove it.

Not that I approve of this one, but
Rolf
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life little girl is an empty page
That men will want to write on
Liesel
To write on
Rolf
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware...be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You'll need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do,
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you!
Liesel
I am sixteen going seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those?
Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do,
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you!

At the age of 37,
She realised she'd never drive
Through Paris in a sportscar with the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing
As she lay there, softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she had memorized in her daddy's easy chair
Title???? Marianne Faithful sang it
(uh-oh -- I'm 37 - does that mean 'bye-bye dreams'?)

Helen,
I remember that the commercial was taken from the song. It had to be because dad sang it to me before the commercial came out and he knew more verses.
